Advice from agricultural specialists on seeding Zaid vegetables: In a few days, the time will come to seed Zaid vegetables (the crop grown between Rabi and Kharif). These crops are seeded between February and March. These crops mostly include cantaloupe, watermelon, muskmelon, cucumber, bottle gourd, ridge gourd, lady's finger, and taro roots.

Farmers who had sowed carrots, cauliflower, cabbage, potatoes, and sugarcane in their fields would suddenly find them empty. Farmers can plant Zaid veggies on the unoccupied fields. Farmers may benefit from these crops by selling them in the marketplaces throughout March, April, and May. This will give significant economic benefits to farmers.

Advice from agricultural specialists regarding vegetable sowing

Always plant veggies in rows. Plants of any vine crop, such as bottle gourd, ridge gourd, and tinda, should be seeded in the same bed rather than in separate locations. If you are growing bottle gourd vines, do not plant any other vines between them, such as bitter gourds or ridge gourds. Because honey bees act as pollinators between male and female flowers, they are unable to sprinkle pollen from other crop vines on female gourd blooms and must rely solely on pollen from bottle gourd vines to pollinate each other. So that the most fruits can be borne.

Agricultural experts recommend vine vegetables

Vine vegetables such as gourd, ridge gourd, and tinda frequently have decaying and dropping fruits at an early stage. This occurs owing to incomplete pollination and fertilisation in these fruits. To avoid this problem, encourage honey bee migration. To seed vine veggies, cut a long groove 40-45 cm broad and 30 cm deep. Plant vegetables or saplings on both sides of the drain, keeping the gap between plants at 60 cm. To disseminate the vine, construct beds approximately 2 metres wide from the drain's margins. If there is shortage of space, the vine can be spread by fencing it with iron wires parallel to the drain. With the help of rope, the vine can be spread on the roof or any perennial tree.
